I responded at System's magazine - in the hope more of IBM will see that. My concluding remark is:

Quote:

And to the case of the customer and /var full. Clearly a bug which I hope IBM addresses quickly. The way the PMR is reported does not sound like it is being properly addressed by IBM support -- as a HMC bug. - As an appliance the HMC should be able to do what needs to be done to ensure that communication between HMC and Service Processors is not interrupted. Period -- regardless of any policy re: root (in)access(ability)

There is actually, or perhaps was, an easy path to become root by opening a PMR. And, in a prior life - as an AIX instructor I taught customers (aka students) how to open a PMR (we did so during the class) - and I also showed how to reuse the password from the previous class (officially the passwords are only valid from midnight to midnight of the day issued - guess how to reuse it :P)

While I can understand the desire for root on HMC I long decided I would not even 'desire' it - but take IBM at it's word about being an appliance and making sure - read demand - it work as an appliance.

I am quite capable of changing a pump in a car, washing machine or heating system. I am quite capable of administrating an HMC as root. However, all of these devices are sold and serviced by the sellar as an applicance. If the pump is not working - I expect someone asap (per terms of the SLA) to replace the pump.

(Hope you like my metaphor!)
